    Old friend of mine who worked with deaf people said they love concerts bc the thumping and vibrations in their chest (bc of air in lungs btw) is a way they can experience sound.

    My first thought is that the suit seems unnecessary but I think the haptics might add more “detail”

      It’s honestly really interesting how the senses can overlap. It’s also kind of like even if you’re blind you can still feel light, infrared and low frequency light warms the skin and ultraviolet and other high frequency light at first feels refreshing before eventually causing burns. I think it’s one of those things that shows even though we all experience the world differently, we also still share in the fact that we are experiencing it.
